QUOTABLES:

"I was really proud of our effort. You know, a lot of teams get down 20 in this building and with the crowd and the energy and you can want to get to the next game, but our guys kept playing. We found a way to claw back to seven."

- Sullivan-Ubben Head Men's Basketball Coach Chris Collins
